Formal Wear for Men

What To Wear: Morning Wear With Tailcoat

  • Shirt – For Formal occasions white or neatly striped featuring collar and double cuffs. A brighter stripe may be substitued for weddings and less formal occasions. Standard collar is usual but wing is appropriate when worn with a cravat.
  • Tie - Grey silk check or stripe. Club and regimental ties are worn if they co-ordinate with the outfit. Wear a cravat of similar colour if your shirt has a wing collar. Bow ties are not worn with morning wear.
  • Waistcoat - A Grey waistcoat is always acceptable but fancy silk is more usual these days. Other coloured and patterned waistcoats are even more popular and acceptable.
  • Socks – Black silk or fine cotton are recommended.
  • Shoes - Black only. Preferably lace-up.
  • Handkerchief – Worn in breast pocket to co-ordinate with tie. The amount shown is up to the individual.
  • Gloves -  In Black or Grey kid or cotton to match the waistcoat.
  • Hat – Top hat only. Colour matches waistcoat or tailcoat.
